  • Oh, I see; you’re a dyed in the wool “down with capitalism” lefty. In this part of history it’ll be necessary to tolerate the presence of normies—people who want to stop the backsliding of democracy but don’t really understand or care about the down with capitalism stuff. Those people can then be radicalized into full fledged lefties, but at least at present it’s important to accept their aims not being as ambitious as yours, even though as you said they’re missing the forest for the trees. They with proper education can and do stop going after individual trees and start burning the whole forest, but you have to be patient (or not, you do you). That aside the holier than thou attitude I’m talking about is mostly the bragging. That’s probably not what it feels to you, but to an external observer you definitely sound like you’re bragging about the fascist bricks you got hit with, so… uh… yeah.



  • I just want to add that they saw all that and said “just looks like protesting” as if personally helping organize action against the coal industry using grassroots techniques to some small success is “just protesting,” or raising money for disabled people in community “not much apart from protesting.”

    To be fair to them too, they were specifically asking what you did to resist Trump and co. As to everything else they said:

    I do hope, that you continue to do as much as you’ve already done and I’m thankful for every single thing you do.

    I get that you’re angry—hell, I’m angry and I’ve never been to the United States—but it seems you’re responding to something other than what the other person actually said. Also getting Americans to get off their asses is one thing, but you do have a bit of a holier than thou attitude you should probably work on if you want to be successful at getting them off their asses. If you don’t want to succeed at it then you do you I guess; like I said, you and everyone else who has been fighting this fight since the beginning have the right to be angry.
